@ramblnghemlock and I spent some time at a volunte @ramblnghemlock and I spent some time at a volunteer training event .. Before then we spent two nights camped out, hiked a bit, and saw some places new to us: structures, images, potsherds, and an intriguing boulder that showed signs of work from long ago. ... A memorable start to an informative weekend. ... #hiking #camping #utah

This past weekend proved an excellent one as we saw both a great archeological talk and a star talk, enjoyed hiking along lightly visited trails and canyons, and ended the weekend at an amazing dispersed site where a roaring creek provided the aural backdrop for a memorable sunset. ... #hiking #camping #pictographs #utah

Along the rim ... @ramblinghemlock and I spent a w Along the rim ... @ramblinghemlock and I spent a weekend at an isolated car camping spot and based ourselves out of it for the weekend. If we hiked and roamed canyons last weekend, we walked along rim-top and nearby placed to see areas towards the latter years of the Ancestral Pueblo settlements in this location. .. On our last day, we looked at a map, had a hunch, and hiked to a structure reminiscent of the well-known "The Citadel" overlooking the canyon below. The chokepoints were all defended by walls. The sites sat at the end of a narrow peninsula—visually striking and thought-provoking, considering when, and possibly why, the Ancestral Pueblo constructed these structures versus the earlier ones on the canyon bottoms. ... #utah #hiking #camping #pictographs #petroglyphs
Reposted from @nationalparkservice ..... It’s g Reposted from @nationalparkservice ..... It’s getting to be that season again… National parks offer a unique experience for watching wildlife. But with that privilege comes great responsibility. Visitors are responsible for their own safety and for the safety of the animals, too. Simply put, leave animals alone—no touching, no feeding, no harassing. Just remember to keep your distance, and enjoy your experience watching wildlife. This message is not for those followers who know what’s up and would never dream of getting too close to wildlife on purpose. Thanks for leading by example! Think of this as a message to share with others you know heading out to a park. “Vacation brain” sometimes takes over, and people may let their guard down, or get taken in by bear’s ears and other cuddly thoughts, only to have a less than pleasant experience in nature. It happens. Every year. Infographic entitled “Wildlife Safety” with a chart of two columns. First row has an illustration of someone feeding a squirrel “nope” example next to an illustration of a person distanced next to no feed sign as “better” example. Second row has an illustration of a person taking a selfie next to a bear as and the word “nope” next to an illustration of a person far away from a bear with words, “good job”. Third row has an illustration of a person next to a moose with the word “nope” next to an illustration of a person far away from a moose with words, “now you got it”. Fourth row has an illustration of a person about to touch a bison as a “nope” example next to an illustration of a person running away from charging bison herd with words “Good luck”. #keepwildlifewild #recreateresponsibly #nature #chart #safety #wildlife #nationalparkservice
